Rangers Managing Director Stewart Robertson has called out BBC Scotland for “treating Rangers differently”.

And yes, Stewart, BBC Scotland is applying a different, discriminatory approach when covering all matters connected with activity involving The Rangers Football Club. Perhaps, Rangers supporters should merit a concession such as a mandatory reduction to their annual licence fees as a direct consequence of BBC Scotland’s policy?
